Specs were estimated from looking at the Amazon Prime Air video since no real dimensions could be found, currently.[1]

Tote has an RFID tag located in bottom right corner of the tote on the front face.


Assumptions

  • Drone has obstacle deflection capabilities.

The System

What it Looks like

  • Describe here the system as a whole, and what the different components look like. How it is seen by the user(s) etc.
  • Drawing of what it looks like connected to an AH supermarket in the parking lot.
  • Insert drawings/sketches
  • Explanation of how it is modular and can be expanded and collapsed in size.

How it Works

  • Describe how the system works as a whole.
  • Detailed information on function can be found in the -How it works powerpoint slides-
  • How a drone finds the system
  • How a mailman has access
  • How users have access

Location

Where should these pick-up points be placed. Why is this a logical choice. etc.
Who has access to these things. etc.

Now: Using Amazon lockers


today there are some locker systems already in use.
Amazon already has there own locker.
This locker is placed at locations which can be accessed 24 hours a day.
for example 7-Eleven, Amazon pays a small fee each month but Amazon and 7-Eleven wont tell what it is. article about amazon lockers
another article about amazon lockers

distance to supermarkets


In Holland the average distance to a supermarket is 0.9 Km. In big cities residents can choose from 3 major supermarkets within 1 kilometer. cbs statistics of supermarkets
In Eindhoven this distance is on average 0.7 Km, and the amount of supermarkets within 3 Km is 16.5 supermarkets. statistics Eindhoven



Picture of Eindhoven & its grocery store locations Explanation of who can be reached and why this is effective

Further Issues to Consider

  • taking the tote
  • rules and regulations
  • how many cubbies needed for an area
  • how are packages (and totes) returned
